1 year and counting

[LovinLife]

Today is my baby girl's first birthday and my one year anniversary of PPCM. And what a year it has been! Many ups and downs, and definitely bittersweet. I didn't think I'd be so emotional today, but I found myself hugging my kids and getting teary-eyed when my little boy said "i love you mommy".....it made me think, "thank God I'm not missing this moment"....I wondered if I had died this time last year if he would have even remembered me at this point. I thought about how much a baby grows the first year and everything I've been able to see KK do.....her first words, her first steps, first smile, first wave....the list goes on and on. This time last year I wondered if we'd even leave the hospital together or if she'd be on her own with just her brother and Daddy....I thought about my husband raising our babies alone and how they all needed. I know I don't have to keep telling you all the thoughts that went through my head bc you've been there. But WOW, what a difference a year makes! I've found some of the sweetest, most understanding, and compassionate women on the planet. I honestly thank God every day for you ladies!...not just saying that....I really do!!! So thanks a ton...and here's to many many more years for all of us.

Dedicated to you all....

That made me cry! I agree....this board has been a God-send for me. I still have a couple months left with #2 and I think about those things all the time- not sure if I had PPCM with after my 2yr old son or not but found out in January I had EF of 20-25%!! I have an echo on Tuesday and I am praying for some improvement so I can feel even better about going into delivery.
